Cobra Seahorse Case Slat Adapter
** Update **
Google changed the way it handles images imported from google drive. I'm in the process up fixing the images, but if you see a blank image preview window, if you Click the image it should load a full res image from the google drive.
** Update **
Here's a view of my completed custom seahorse case slat adapter.
Here's a view of it in action. You can see it working with cue 13 showing continuity.
I was too lazy to resize my images, so I put the how-to pics in several parts. As the images in each part might be large/slow loading.
Updates:
03/04/16 - I've ordered a couple "2x40 Pin 2.54 mm Right Angle Double Row Pin Header" via ebay. They should be in next week. I'll see if I can just use the 2nd row of pins without having to cut any pins. I've also considered trying to use the original Slat adapter connector. I would have to remove the weird cue terminals. The PCB traces on that connector are thicker than the ones from the technologicalarts website. I'm not sure if it's a factor or not. The traces are short, like about a 1mm, but the are thinner than I'd like.
03/06/16 - The "2x40 Pin 2.54 mm Right Angle Double Row Pin Header" http://www.ebay.com/itm/222025578091 arrived. They work much better. No bending or cutting. Just break off 7 and plug them in.
3/18/16 - I added update 4 pictures. I used a straight DB25 connector with wires soldered to it. I crimped dupont connectors to the wires. I also just cut up the existing foam base.
